Matt and I had a stimulating e-mail conversation about octagons today.
When a young octagon thinks of growing should its only aspiration be to be a stop sign? I said a young octagon should not be limited in his or her (because a young female octagon should not be limited to being an octagonal housewife and octagon birther) occupational choice as an adult octagon. I said there are many choices for a young octagon…in addition to being a stop sign they could aspire to be a chinese checker board or possibly even “the octagon”…surely the U.S. will need a replacement for the pentagon at some point…but then the U.S. being the U.S. they will probably just skip to something like an 18-agon.

The US: Of course I want it super-sized. Stop asking me stupid

questions…
